A610 Choke/Air temperature Sender

Postby mettersl » Wed Jun 15, 2005 6:35 pm

Posted to help others later!!
Thanks to DG's assistance at the last ACE cafe meet up, I found that the air temperature sender on my A610 was not working (even with Global warming 78 degrees C is unlikely to be correct) so I set out to replace it.
I went to Renault and they got me the correct part listed from the parts book- 77 00 727 105- yours for 44.69 plus VAT. It arrived quickly, but it is NOT the right part for a A610 (or at least a '94 one).
Wrong connection - a flying lead not a socket (but looks better made than the orginal). Reluctantly they took it back and then after a search ordered me the equivalent from a R25 Turbo. This is 77 00 737 572.
Got it overnight, identicle to the original and it fits and works. The best bit- it was only £18.21 (plus VAT).javascript:emoticon(':D')
Very Happy
So any other A610 owners might find this useful- not that I'm wishing a failure on your car........

Cheers

Thats not a R25 Turbo part number, its actually a Laguna/Safrane sensor, which if you remember, I said it probably should be being the slightly newer type of engine management system!

the parts fiche has the a610 part the same number as the GTA so it wasn't really the dealers fault - i had noticed that anomaly before

I don't blame the Renault dealer- as you said he gave me what the parts book says it should have.....just thought I could be helpful by posting in case someone else gets this problem too.
David- I'll listen more closely next time- honest!! and thanks for the help in the first place- I'd not have found that fault on my own and it as improved the low end torque.
Are there many other items that the dealer parts system gets wrong?

Thanks
Lee
